Just seen it on traplet website last night and have it ordered! Looks interesting.

I ordered mine when I renewed my sub so I hope it will arrive soon.

Seriously can we PLEASE get into the year 2012. I understand some people like magazines but last time I checked its no longer the stone age. I would GLADLY pay for a digital version I can check out. Pretty please?

That edition has not appeared on the iPad app yet, don't know if it will.

Hi Dave

will you have any at Jet-Power if you do save me one and I will pick it up at your stall on Friday when we get there


cheers

Yes, will have a few with us-safe journey and see you in the Sunshine :D

Dave,

Same for me, please hold on to one for me. cheers

You were a given, nearly just posted you one yesterday for the journey! ;-)

Damn! i hate being predictable! would have been nice but i have Lozza, Leighton and the G to entertain me! will be good for the trip back though.

What are you saying Jamie????? That you will be bored travelling with the three of us? Believe me that can be fixed:D

RCJI will have plenty on their stand too, plus a few on mine, its a good edition just read it (well skimmed it) - safe journey to all and be sure to come over and introduce yourselves to me and grab a jelly beans at the same time ;)

No mate, you said it is normally quiet on the way back as everyone will be asleep, so will need some reading material, i am sure i will end up with plenty!

Best bring a torch will be dark in the boot lol, don't worry Geoff I'll talk to you, unless some German lass has taken me hostage

Ordered mine today. Great idea for a special issue. [8D]

Emailed publisher and they responded it will be available on iPad in 2 - 3 weeks.

Hi All some really good info in this with the right size exhaust pipe and turbine to pipe gap there is some extra thrust to be had,also colin has done some work on fod guards it seems that the really close weave fod guards do restrict air and the turbine suffers as a result!! regards Keith

Statically...shove a load of air in front of it and who knows!
Guess it depends how much and what size of "grit" you want stopping...but it was interesting

If the turbine max rpm drops with a fod guard fitted then yes, but if a turbine is can reach its max at say 120K with or without the fod guard then there is zero difference.
Even if it can be said the turbine has to work harder to reach the max rpm then the EGT will rise which will in turn actually increase the thrust output.
So if you are concerned plug in your GSU and check the max rpm if it being reached with the FOD guard then forget about it and go fly.

If the 1lb of thrust is that critical your turbine is the wrong size or model too heavy ;)

That's not true, any restriction to airflow on the turbine intake path will cause a loss of intake pressure, so the massflow trough the engine will be lower, thus lower thrust output. Same effect as high altitude operation. Actually the rotor would turn faster, less work to compress less mass of air, but the ecu will reduce the fuel flow to keep the RPM controlled. You can test with a EDF (or a vacuum cleaner), a restriction in the intake always cause higher rpm on rotor (or less amperage) and less air moved trough
